Default Just a few new goodies for my bro's car!

Since he had to replace a busted radiator he upgraded to an aluminum Koyo (Supra fitment)

Here are a few pics





Side view - it's a pretty beefy looking radiator, nice and fully polished. You can't really see it in the pics but since my brother couldn't go with the factory fans he went with slim profile Flex-a-lite fans.



And here's the coolant overflow tank. It's a universal one from Weapon-R, as you can see, it's fully polished as well and dresses the engine up quite nicely.



I don't have pics of it but a B&M tranny transmission cooler was added as well.


Oh and before I forget, lookee what we have here




Oh, and I'd like to say thank you to Adrian aka bluelex for helping me out with some of the details of the radiator install.

Retail is around $530 but I've seen online prices ranging from $400-500.
